BEST emphasis: Professional Development
• Engineering Clubs– K-2– 3-5– 6-8
• STEM Challenge, 6-8• STEM Systems
– 9-12– 6-8
• STEM Expo, “Family”– Mainly 6-8Primarily ePD

UMBCUMBC
• STEM Collaborative Challenge– Search for Lunar Ice Robotic Challenge– Underway with 3 schools (MD, England, Germany)…maybe
to add one in AZ– ePD with a twist: in Second Life (under development with
NASA Learning Technologies office)

STEM Systems, ramping up
• Discussion Forum with stakeholders 3/19/09
• Summer Bridge in July• High school course
– Pilot in STEM Magnets
– Fall 09, Spring 2010
• Middle School Modules to follow, 2010
• University Course (MAE Program), 2011
![Page 13: UMBC NASA’s BEST Students B eginning E ngineering, S cience and T echnology hoban/BEST ESMD Project Managers Meeting Kennedy](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649ccf5503460f9499b84e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Project Status, conclusion
• Summer Bridge– Last year combined MSDE, AACPS – 40 students– This year, two offerings (Robotics, STEM Systems)
• Evaluation & Research– Dr. Bob Wolffe, Bradley University, outside evaluator/per NAS Report– Effectiveness of ePD, Laurie Cook

BEST 2009+ Distribution Strategy
Under construction!• AESP• DLN Network• Existing online channels, e.g. Blended Schools • Home Schooling Networks• Engineering Education, e.g.
– Project Lead the Way– Boston Museum of Science
• Professional Organizations– Community partners
That’s why we’re here!

Notable Successes
• 2008 pilot of Engineering Clubs in AACPS– Strong positive feedback – uniqueness for K-2, 3-5– Strong positive student response – request to repeat– Constructive criticism from teachers
• E.g. Activities take more than one session
• Tentative results for ePD– Teachers responding positively to convenience– Need more training on STEM content

UMBCUMBC
Lessons Learned
• Remote staff takes more management time– BEST Multimedia team
• 4 undergraduates around the country developing multimedia pieces for recruiting tool for Engineering Clubs
• Did not finish on schedule• Working on wrap-up strategy
– STEM Collaboration Challenge• Similar issue, originally planned for High School level, but
remote developer fizzled out• (In this case, able to resurrect for middle school with in-
house support)
